	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/12/2016 answer text <p>As set out in the Answer of 28 November to Question 53350, the Electronic Staff Record (ESR) does not clearly show the full extent of additional work carried out by National Health Service staff. Some inferences can be made about average hours by analysing data from ESR (which is the payroll system) and other sources such as trust rostering systems. There are different rostering systems for different staff groups in the NHS; not all employers use the same systems; and the working time contribution of consultants is measured in units which are of varying lengths of time depending on when they are worked. To collect data centrally on the average hours worked each week by NHS job category would place an unreasonable burden on NHS organisations. It is the responsibility of employers to ensure that hours worked are within statutory and contractual limits for working hours and patterns.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 01/12/2016 12:05:43 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne

Funding will increase by £10 billion in real terms over the six years since the Five Year Forward View was published.

This will allow hospitals to focus their efforts on making the NHS a truly seven day service, offering the same excellent world class care every day of the week.</p><p> </p><p>We have provided an additional £3.8 billion in 2016-17 alone, which includes a £1.8 billion Sustainability and Transformation Fund to help NHS providers to move to a financially sustainable footing.</p><p> </p><p>There is no room for complacency.
